Email

All students are assigned a Virginia Community College System (VCCS) email address when they enroll in a class at the college. This email address is the primary email address the college will use for communication with students. Students can access their VCCS student email in their myBrightpoint account once they are enrolled in a class. Students should check their student email regularly for financial aid updates, class information from instructors, reminders about college deadlines and dates, closing and delay notifications, notes from faculty advisors, details on student activities, and many other important messages.

Social Media

Tap into the Brightpoint community by connecting with the college on social media. These spaces exist to digitally connect students, faculty and staff, and the community to one another and to Brightpoint. They tell the Brightpoint story one post, photo, or video at a time.
